2016 KIA Venga 1.4L Petrol · SA16 VOB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, showing a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 30 April 2025 at 43,339 miles resulted in a pass with no advisories. This clean record across the last five annual tests indicates that the previous owners maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoided the common pitfalls of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,334 miles per year. Data shows a consistent usage pattern, for example, the 3,412 miles covered between February 2023 and March 2024, and a further 3,189 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This suggests the car was likely used for short, local trips rather than long-distance motorway commuting. Such low mileage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based parts due to age rather than use. While the MOT history shows no recurring faults, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for issues common to low-mileage cars. Check rubber components such as suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and boots for cracking or perishation, which occurs when vehicles sit stationary. Examine the brake discs for corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use can lead to surface rust that persists. Given the clean history, the structural integrity appears sound, but a physical check of the underbody for early-stage corrosion remains a prudent practice for a vehicle of this age.
